Three years before he hit #1 with “Undercover Angel,” Alan O’Day wrote another #1 single: Helen Reddy’s “ Angie Baby.” In that song, the title character is a mentally ill girl who shuts out reality, living in the pure fantasy realm of the songs on her radio. She’s “a dream who makes sweet love” - a genie, maybe, or a hallucination. And she’s not, as far as we know, an actual winged godly being. The angel is undercover because she’s under sheets, having sex. “Undercover Angel” is, however, about as weird, and about as stupid, as that absolutely inane hypothetical thing that I just described. All of those things might have been interesting.
#UNDERCOVER ANGEL SERIES#
“Undercover Angel” does not end with a series of double-crosses, tearful confessions, and shootouts. The angel is not seduced by the tightknit community of devils or mafia goons, and the angel does not come to regard them as family. There’s no scene in the song where an angel has to go to her captain (God, I guess?) and complain that she’s in too deep and she’s losing her sense of self. Sorry to disappoint, but “Undercover Angel” is not a story-song about a seraphim who infiltrates a devious ring of devils or mafia goons or whatever. The present test has been made with the input of researchers who work professionally with psychology and individual differences research.In The Number Ones, I’m reviewing every single #1 single in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, starting with the chart’s beginning, in 1958, and working my way up into the present. Statistical analysis of the test is conducted to ensure maximum accuracy and validity of the test scores.ĥ. While there are other anger tests in existence, ours is one of the few to link the respondent's multidimensional anger scores to a benchmark of population averages, as determined by peer-reviewed personality studies.Ĥ. The parameters utilized in our multidimensional anger test have been validated and used with success in several different regions, including the USA, Canada, and several European countries.ģ.

#UNDERCOVER ANGEL PROFESSIONAL#
The results of our online multidimensional anger test are provided "as-is", and should not be construed as providing professional or certified advice of any kind. The authors of this online personality test are certified in the use of multiple personality tests and have worked professionally with typology and personality testing. The IDR-MAT© is the property of IDR Labs International. However, both are professionally-designed personality tests (or inventories) meant for measuring propensities and states related to anger and angry affect. Factor analysis of the MAI has repeatedly revealed that the test is accurate in testing for Anger Arousal (reflecting frequency and magnitude of anger responses), as well as the range of Anger Eliciting Situations that the respondent is likely to be triggered by, as well as the respondent's general orientation towards a Hostile Outlook on the world.Īlthough both are designed to measure multidimensional anger, the IDR-MAT© should not be confused with the MAI, as authored by Dr. The modern findings on the MAI suggest that the IDR-MAT/MAI is still a valid instrument for assessing the respondent’s propensity towards anger. Siegel's original criteria have largely been shown to hold up. The original instrument is fairly old however, more modern, peer-reviewed replications of Siegel's original work have time and again found a high degree of validity to the constructs that comprise the empirical basis of the instrument. Recent concerns regarding the validity of its scales have arisen as newer inventories have developed its scales to work in settings like schools, workplaces, and correctional facilities. The IDR-MAT/MAI is a widely used index and instrument for measuring the complex emotion of anger.
The IDR-MAT© is not the equivalent of, or to be confused with, the MAI (Multidimensional Anger Inventory).
